Since 1990, Amoeba Music has welcomed independent music lovers of all kinds to our unique, vibrant stores in Berkeley, San Francisco and Hollywood. We stock every kind of music and movies -- from the top 40 to the best in underground rock and hip-hop, soul, electronica, new and classic jazz, world music, roots music and experimental music. We also have the biggest, most diverse and affordable selection of DVDs and vinyl LPs found anywhere. Since we're a trading post for new and used discs, our stock changes daily, and just about anything you're looking for can be found here. We're more than just a record store -- we're a 21st century music outlet, a website, a popular live performance venue, and together with our customers we're a meeting place for California's most colorful community of progressive and creative minds.

Pirates Press protects independent labels, bands, artists and businesses from being swindled and handicapped by big corporate manufacturers who really don't care about them. We are musicians, artists, promoters, screen printers, music technicians, tattoo artists, and other independent entrepreneurs out to help each other succeed in a way you can truly feel good about. Pirates Press is truly the best source in the industry for independent musicians, artists and entrepreneurs looking to learn how to manufacture top quality media, merchandise, and promotional devices without having to pay top dollar for them.

Vinyl Me, Please is a record of the month club. The best damn record club, in fact. Our goal is to be the greatest music company ever, and to make your life even more awesome than it already is. We do this by not only sending you great music, but by also offering an amazing experience every month.

We believe in the power of the album as an art form. Music is meant to be listened to and connected with. An album isn’t something you simply own, it’s a part of you. We offer a full sensory experience that encourages you to deeply connect with the music you’re listening to. Vinyl is a tangible representation of the music you love, and encourages an environment where you can listen actively and deeply.

We are not a replacement for your local record store. We want you to enjoy vinyl, in all its aspects. A big part of being a vinyl listener is your local record store. Go there, talk to the people behind the counter, meet new friends. We do it on a weekly basis…it’s amazing!

Our team consists of a host of music and vinyl enthusiasts, all committed to making sure your experience is the best that it can be.
